Shirakawago No Yu Hotel

The hotel is very small but in a great location, walking distance to the old village. However, don't expect a lot from the hotel, apart from the onsen, there are nothing much to do. Our room has no toilets or showers, you will have to go outside to do all your business. No slippers are provided so bring your own if you don't want to be barefeet.  Food was not bad and with a lot of small dishes. I found a hair in my dessert at the dinner which I was quite surprise for Japan standard.  Anyway I think I booked too latest min so ran out of options and had to pay a bit more than usual.

The food really fantastic, the best beef and sashimi in Japan. Should try. Very expensive but worth it

The room is very spacious and the meals were also great both in quantity and quality. But I think what’s best was the bath as there was an outdoor one, and the front counter sells glass bottles of fresh Hida milk which are perfect as an after-bath drink. Staff knows some English so knowing some basic Japanese helps
